[edit] Command voice
Drill commands are best given when the person has an excellent command voice. A command voice is characterized by DLIPS:Distinctness, Loudness, Inflection, Projection, and Snap.
Distinctness - This depends on the correct use of the tongue, lips, and teeth to form the separate sounds of a word and to group those sounds to force words. Distinct commands are effective; indistinct commands cause confusion. Emphasize clear enunciation.
Loudness - This is the volume used in giving a command. It should be adjusted tothe distance and number of individuals in the formation. The commander takes a position in front of, and centered on, the unit and facing the unit so his or her voice reaches all individuals. Speak loudly enough for all to hear, but do not strain the vocal cords.
Inflection - This is the change in pitch of the voice. Pronounce the preparatory command—the command that announces the movement—with arising inflection near or at the end of its completion, usually the last syllable. When beginning a preparatory command, the most desirable pitch of voice is near the level of the natural speaking voice. A common fault is to start the preparatory command so high that, after employing a rising inflection, the passage to a higher pitch for the command of execution is impossible without undue strain.A properly delivered command of execution has no inflection. However, it should be given at a higher pitch than the preparatory command.
Projection - This is the ability of your voice to reach whatever distance is desired without undue strain. To project the command, focus your voice on the person farthest away. Counting in a full, firm voice and giving commands at a uniform cadence whileprolonging the syllables are good exercises. Erect posture, proper breathing, a relaxed throat, and an open mouth help project the voice.
Snap - This is the conciseness of the command.
[edit] Common drill commands
[edit] United Kingdom
Each of the three services in the United Kingdom has its own drill manuals. Most commands are the same across all three services, but there are significant differencesin the way movements are carried out.
Drill orders are always given in the form of 2 components,(Precautionary Order and the Executive Order) each component usually separated by Consecutive feet that the order is given on, at the cadence of quick march (116 paces a minute). In General Orders are given consecutive beats of right foot however in some cases (IE eyes left, left turn on the march)...
